<br>

Curly:<br>

Pore Jud is daid,<br>

Pore Jud Fry is daid,<br>

All gather 'round his cawfin now and cry<br>

He had a heart of gold<br>

And he wasn't very old<br>

Oh why did such a feller have to die?<br>

<br>

Pore Jud is daid<br>

Pore Jud Fry is daid,<br>

He's lookin' oh so peaceful and serene<br>

<br>

Jud: And serene!<br>

<br>

Curly:<br>

He's all laid out to rest<br>

With his hands acrost his chest<br>

His fingernails have never been so clean!<br>

<br>

(Spoken)<br>

Then the preacher'd get up and he'd say:<br>

<br>

(Chanting)<br>

Folks, we are gathered here to moan and groan over our brother Jud Fry, who hung hisself up by a rope in his smokehouse<br>

<br>

(Spoken)<br>

Then there'd be weepin' and wailin'... from some of those women. Then he'd say:<br>

<br>

(Chanting)<br>

Jud was the most misunderstood man in this here territory. People used to think he was a mean ugly feller and they called<br>

him a dirty skunk and an ornery pig stealer<br>

<br>

(Sung)<br>

But the folks that really knowed him.<br>

<br>

(Chant) <br>

Knowed that beneath them two dirty shirts he always wore<br>

<br>

(Sung)<br>

There beat a heart as big as all outdoors<br>

Jud:<br>

As big as all outdoors.<br>

Curly:<br>

Jud Fry loved his feller man<br>

Jud:<br>

He loved hes feller man<br>

<br>

Curly (Spoken):<br>

He loved the birds of the air and the beasts of the field. He loved the mice and the vermin in the barns, and he treated<br>

the rats like equals, which was right. And he loved little children. He loved everybody and everything in the whole world! <br>

Only he never let on, so nobody ever knowed it.<br>

<br>

(Sung)<br>

Pore Jud is Daid<br>

Pore Jud Fry is daid<br>

His friends'll weep and wail for miles around<br>

<br>

Jud: Miles Around!<br>

<br>

Curly:<br>

The daisies in the dell <br>

will give out a different smell<br>

Because Pore Jud is underneath the ground.<br>

<br>

Jud:<br>

Pore Jud is daid<br>

A Candle lights his haid<br>

He's layin' in a cawfin made of wood<br>

<br>

Curly: Wood...<br>

<br>

Jud:<br>

And folks are feelin' sad<br>

Cause they useter treat him bad<br>

But now they know their friend is gone for good<br>

<br>

Curly: Good..<br>

<br>

Both: Pore Jud is Daid a candle lights his haid!<br>

<br>

Curly:<br>

He's lookin' oh so purty and so nice<br>

He looks like he's asleep, <br>

It's a shame that he won't keep<br>

But it's summer and we're running out of ice.<br>

<br>

Both: Pore Jud, Pore Jud.<br>

<br>
